A York County jury has convicted a West York man of attempted murder for stabbing a man — an attack the trial prosecutor described as an evisceration.

Jurors took about two hours Thursday, Jan. 18, to convict Logan Hale of attempted first-degree murder for injuring Kenneth Ray, according to court records.

"He maintains his innocence, and that he was defending his brother, his friend and himself," defense attorney George Margetas said, adding he and his client are considering their appeal options.

Hale, 27, is scheduled to be sentenced by Common Pleas Judge Harry Ness on Feb. 26, according to court records.

Hale was locked up for about a year after being charged but was released on $1 bail, called "nominal bail," after it was determined his case wasn't brought to trial within the state's one-year speedy-trial rule.

After the jury's verdict was announced, Hale's bail was revoked and he was committed to York County Prison to await his sentence, according to Margetas.

The attorney confirmed his client is facing a lengthy prison sentence, possibly a decade.

She said Ray's intestines were actually protruding from one of his stab wounds.

Ray required emergency surgery, police said.

West York Police said Hale admitted to stabbing Ray and told them he had arranged a pot deal between Ray and Jonathan Kirsch and that the three of them drove to Hale's home in the 1500 block of West King Street shortly before 1 a.m. Jan. 20, 2017.

Hale maintains that once there, Ray pulled out a knife and tried to rob the other two men of marijuana and cash, Margetas said.

Hale told officers that's when he grabbed a dagger from his bedroom and chased Ray outside.
